It is not an opinion if it is true.

I will say what I said earlier in private.

[16:15] <Daemon404> i am tired of the whole thing where the person pointing out the insanity is punished because they were mean
[16:15] <Daemon404> and the people doing long term damage keep on scott free
[16:17] <Daemon404> focusing on Mean Words
[16:17] <Daemon404> instead of deeper issues

I agree I was out of line, but for the above reason (among others), the CC is a lame duck,
lacking the ability to enact actual meaningful change. The modus operandi here is to drive
anyone sane into eventually getting angry and saying regretful things. Gaslighting, sort of.
More like [1]. Coupled with the complacent attitude of Please Just Stop So I Can Code from
a chunk of the rest of the community, I find myself screaming into the void.

I am tired of screaming into the void.

I have taken this opportunity to unsubscribe for a while, as a self imposed temp ban for my
own benefit. I did that last time I felt like [1] here, and it was beneficial.
